Fun question for you FoxesTalk. Which current England player has the most goal contributions (G+A) over the last 3 seasons? Answers at 9:30, no Googlin or Askin Jeeves. -
Susan Whelan won’t be out of a job anytime soon
-
The anti-Southgate agenda is classic FoxesTalk. Same agenda that has been spouted nearly every day since Rodgers got the job. God forbid any manager does anything other than Pearson’s “throw everything and the kitchen sink plus finish the game with 5 strikers” tactics.
-
Have you watched football over the last year? The effect of playing every 4 days was very clear to see. Having an unrotated starting XI for every single of those matches would be madness. England should get into the knockout stages no problem, with a rational approach to rotation we will still have fresh legs throughout the squad. Big difference to England squads of the past that have relied on a largely unrotated set of players. Anyway, 100% Italy will not maintain that pressure and aggression throughout the tournament. By all means quote me on this in a few weeks.
-
Bizarrely, quite happy with the team selected today. Italy threw everything they had at Turkey the other day, which is entirely unsustainable over the course of a tournament. Instead of seeing the best XI, we saw 9 decent players plus Tripper and Mings. Plenty of room for England to grow into the tournament. #SouthgatesAtTheWheel?

Group B: Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Russia

One of those moments that makes the tics of a clock sound so much louder. Really hope he is okay. -
They can’t sustain this energy for an entire tournament. Good to see Soyuncu’s intent on staying at Leicester

Fake news. Getfootballnewsfrance has popped up in a few threads recently. They churn out articles to get higher on search engines and get that sweet sweet ad revenue. They abide by the Family Guy storyline manatees.

Scored more goals than Trincao last season in a tougher league

I think you must have been either head in the clouds, away on holiday or reporting on a different team because if you think that’s a good signing, that player, I think your suggestion is absolutely unbelievable. The fact that you do not understand where I'm coming from. If you seriously think that signing is a good idea, then I think you are an ostrich. Well your head must be in the sand. Is your head in the sand? Are you flexible enough to get your head in the sand? My suspicion would be no. I can, you can't. You can't. Listen you've been here often enough. For you to suggest that signing, I think you're either being very, very silly or you're being absolutely stupid -- one of the two. Because for you to suggest that signing -- I'm sorry son but you are daft. No -- you're wrong, you're wrong. You've been in here. You've been here and I know you have, you’ve got over 500 reputation points. So don't give that crap with me. Please -- don't give that crap with me I'll smile at you because I can afford to smile at you. Now do you want to suggest a different player or do you want to suggest a different amount? Go on, suggest it, suggest it. Or are you not capable?

**** a duck, is that a tilde?!

Duncan Watmore
-
Hope he stops ball watching in the centre third. Despite how frustrating he can be, he is a proper talent. Really want to see him kick on and contribute across a whole season.
-
I love how bizarre that whole broken players thing was. He’s like an Irish Fagin. Although I’m sure some Turks would argue he broke Under!
-
I’m just repeating what every other gobshite is saying about Leicester wanting a left-footed right winger
-
Oh for sure, but he arrives with some caveats. 1) First season in the Premier League under his belt. 2) Had to endure over half a season under the most clueless manager in Premier League history. 3) 1 G/A every 190 minutes 4) Left-footed right winger who has some positional flexibility Definitely a better alternative to Perez and Trincao et al. Anyway, forget all my very articulate points in a numbered list, here’s a YouTube dubstep compilation. https://youtu.be/QTqMsjO_wvc

Slightly excited at the completely baseless prospect of Ziyech
-
Nah, everyone wants to piss £30 million at a failed Portuguese
-
Trincao will just be Perez Mk2 if he comes to Leicester. (Don’t quote me on this when he becomes a 20 goals a season winger.)
-
I’m a forum poster on FoxesTalk, I know more than any Leicester scouts
-
Trincao is a big risk, he has failed to impress at a big club in a league that favours light-weight attackers. I’d rather invest the money in a sure-thing rather than be tied down to another Under.
-
Barcelona and financial sense do not go well together. Not understanding the clamour for Trincao at all, other than him being a shiny new toy. Can’t see him doing anything that Ghezzal can’t do for free
-
Still can’t get over Trincao being valued at 30 million, he’s done shit all.

Youri won’t leave this summer. My mate’s cousin’s auntie’s nephew’s acquaintance said Tielemans is built different.
